Well I finally installed my VMP TVS yesterday, I must say it was a breaze. The only snafu I ran into was using the old bolts from the factory elbow onto the new one, I had to grind down the washers on the two top ones. The egr came off easy, I just unbolted the top two bolts and left the main tube on. The only advice I can really give that I haven't seen covered on her is, if changing the injectors too just leave the old ones in the fuel rails until you're ready too. I mean it's common sense or you'll have gas all over the place. I'd say it took me 2 hours, but thats not including waiting to find a wheel grinder for the washers. I'd throw up pics, but lets be honest here, theres about 50 threads with pics on having the dissNass done already. Maybe now that it's day light I'll snap one of the finished product. Next up, longtubes and heat exchanger! Still haven't started it up yet, the downside of shift work has me up until 5am and didn't think the neighbors would appreciate it to much...

hey thanks guys, I retuned it, idle sounds fine, no vac leaks, but it sputters at first on the gas. I'm not worried though. Nothing a few data logs can't fix. It's weird I can't pin point whats going on just yet. Drove it about 12 miles and it seemed like every A$$HOLE who drives slow just happened to be in my lane. But thanks I look forward to the power it's going to make.

Grats on the TVS install. Your going to love how the LT's make your setup with it sound. I still have a H/E to install myself. Guess I'll try to get on it this weekend.

It's my drill weekend, so it's going to be on hold until next week. Unfortunately long tubes might have to wait to see if i'm going to need new injectors.
